Why don't you take a look at every other thread in the Press section and see if you can spot what's different about yours.

FTFY

Unless you mean using ISO standard dating? Ha! That's for nerds and computer geeks.

Actually yyyy-mm-dd is what is used in China (and although they have quite a lot of nerds and computer geeks certainly that is not the majority of people living in PRC).

Guidelines for Press board
The Press board replaces the Bitcoin press hits, notable sources thread.  The original motivation of the thread was to collect links that fit Wikipedia's definition of Notability.  Once bitcoin was deemed sufficiently notable (a milestone!), the thread became an ongoing log of links.  Discussion was discouraged.

The Press board is a great improvement.  These general guidelines should help keep the board usable:

• Create a new thread for each new link
• Begin each thread with article date, YYYY-MM-DD format.
• Thread title should usefully summarize the link.  julz has suggested DATE-SITE-HEADLINE format, but use your best judgement.
• Duplicate links, off-topic, and meta discussions may be moderated (locked or whatever the mods prefer)
• Post a link to the NEW articles thread.

As always, comments and suggestions welcome!  The main goal is to keep the noise down.

(emphasis added).

It's stickied at the top of this board FFS.  Why is this a discussion?

Because some dudes are just above any rules, didn't you know?

They're clearly all wrong!

Please just fix your mess, or I have to report this thread to the mods.

Geeze, someone forgot to turn off the block chain, I can still send coins! Those guys over at BitCoin can't even suspend operations correctly.

Ha! We know it was you that picked the block chain padlock, Holliday. I think you'll find you wont get away with your evil plan quite so easily.

Err... CornedBeefHash made me do it! He called me yellow. No one calls me yellow. I think he took off though, haven't seen him around! Whatever you do, don't question the authorities!

Claiming you are being mentally controlled by a food product does little to lend credence to your claims of innocence.
